Scott, representing the war depart

Anadarko agent, representing the de
partment of tho Interior, were ap
pointed to select tho new homes for
tho 269 Apache prisoners of war held
by the United States government at
Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
The last session of congress granted
liberty to theso Indians, after holding
thom prisoners of war for twenty-six
years, and tho committee of two will
select for them an open reservation
somewhere In tho west, but tho prob
abilities aro that their new homo will
not bo within tho boundaries of either
New Mexico or Arizona. A reserva
tion in either of those states might
incite in tho snvago Apacho Indians
a memory of their forefathers' con
quests and defeats, within thoso
boundaries, and render their rclmprls-
onment necessary.
Tho Apache trlbo Is one of tho few
tribes thnt nover assimilated tho
white man's way of living, and slnco
tho year of 1853 havo not been on
friendly terms with any member of
tno white race.
In that year ono division of tho six
branches Into which tho tribo Is
divided, went from tho eastern line of
Arizona, where thoy were ranging,
Into Old Mexico on a trading expedi
tion. When near the outpost of tho
Kas-ki-yeh they camped, and, leaving
their women and children, proceeded
toward Casa Grande. Citizens from
that town met them and entered Into
a treaty of peaco with them, though
tho Mexican government had placed
a prlco upon their heads, paying $100
for a warrior, $50 for a squaw and
$25 for a dead Indian child.
While In Casa Grande, trading,
Mexican soldiers took advantage of
their absence from camp and set up
on tho defenseless women and chil
dren, killing all within camp. When
tho warriors returned In tho evening
tno Mexican soldiers opened flro upon
them and tho Apaches, being armed
with bows and arrows, wcro exter
minated, excepting Goronlino, who at
that tlrr.o was a young brave, and one
other Apache. In Uils massacre Ger
onlmo lost his wlfo nnd child, and,
according to hi own statement made
after ho became a prisoner of war
of the United States, ho swore eter
nal hostility to all Mexicans.
Geronlmo returned to Arizona and
sought aid from tho other five Apache
tribeB, In neeklng revengo on the
Mexicans. Tho citizens of Casa
Grando sent him a disclaimer of all
knowledgo of tho massacro of his
peoplo after they had entered into tho
trading treaty with his band In Old
Mexico, but Geronlmo could nover un
derstand how it was tho citizens had
no control over thoso actB of tho
soldiers, and from that year until 188C
made annual raids upon tho settle
ments within 300 miles of tho north
ern boundary of Mexico.
Tho Apaches, whllo on their excur
sions to Mexico, ran off somo cattle
that vero in charge of white cowboys,
and shortly thereafter United States
troops mado their appearances, and
tho Apaches always professed to be
lieve thoy camo in responso to the
Mexican government's appeal for aid
in exterminating tho Apaches.
Geronlmo dlod about eighteen
months ago, and most of tho old race
of warriors had preceded him to tho
grave, and now tho general govern
ment believes tho younger generation
can bo onco more trusted to run at
largo on an open reservation.
The failure of tho Apacho Indians to
assimilate tho ways of civilization
which finally resulted in their becom
ing prisoners of war, was no doubt

"Nono o' your business! I gijp.a my

"And she's got scared about it and
has written him a letter to tell whoro
Bho Is?" queried tho husband.
"Go on! It's probably a letter to
her ma, though I didn't seo it nor ask.
I hope Bho didn't start for town. It's
going to storm for suro. and thero
hain't but ono house on tho road
where sho could find shelter. Look
down tho road and see If you can see
her."
"Can't see hide nor hair of any
girl," reported Undo Robert after go
ing out to the highway and taklnr
long look.
An hour later, with both undo and
aunt fidgeting about their girl visitor,
the black clouds that bad been
banking up for hours began to advanco
beforo a breazo that soon strengthen
ed into a gale. In flvo minutes the
gray afternoon hnd becomo twilight
In fifteen thoro was cold rain and live
ly hall, and Uncle Robert was" blown
Into tho kitchen to exclaim:
"I told, ho'r It was going to bo a
buBter, and that sho mustn't blame
me. I started down tho read to meet
hor, but Lordy what a storm I I
couldn't got ten rods If I was to dls
for it!"
Miss Minnlo had reached town and
mailed hor letter nnd started back
again when tho storm broke. Beforo
It camo, aho thought sho could mako
out n human figure on tho road ahead
of her, but wasn't sure. Tho very first
gust picked hor up nnd turnod her
around and deposited her under a
roadside tree. Sho remained thero un
til tho gale bogan to whip the
branches off, and then lot go her hold
and ran for it. Thoro wero limbs fall
ing nil about hor, and tho hall-stones
peppored her until she ran almost
blindly. Sho hndh't gono a quarter of
a mllo when, as sho crouched and cov
ered her face, Bho was struck by a
flying limb and knew no moro.
It was tho dim sight of tho girl and
tho scream 'sho uttered when hit. that
Bont tho man who was clinging to the
roadsldo fenco back Into tho highway.
Ho bent over tho unconscious form
nnd picked It up and staggered back
to tho fenco nnd followed It until ho
saw a light and found tho gate of a
farmhouse. His lusty calls for help
soon brought out a man, and tho
senseless burden was carried Into the
houso nnd received by a woman.
"I don't know who she Is, but I
found her in tho road," explained her
rescuer. "Thero Is blood on hor hair,
and I think sho was struck down."
"We'll do all we can," replied the
man and tho woman together, "but
you mustn't look for much. Wo nre
mighty poor folks. Wo hain't got no
camphor nor whisky, and ns for get
ting a doctor out from tewn It can't
bo dono tonight."
Tho girl was carried into tho only
bedroom and laid on tho only bed,
and when hor wet clothing had been
removed and sho was between tho
sheets, the woman got n cloth and n
basin of water and washed away the
blood and whispered to tho stranger:
"I don't think sho's bad hurt. She's
Just fainted away with tho scare of !t
When bhe opens her eyes I'll tell hor
to go to sleep, and she'll be nil right
In tho morning."
"Do you think it's some young lady
from the villnge?" asked tho stranger
of the fanner as they talked In whis
pers In tho outer room.
"No, I don't reckon so. I reckon It's
that new girl that arrived at Turner'!
a few days ngo. r saw her going to
wards tho villago two hours ago."
"Arrived at Turner's! Say, man. -ire
you sure? Is It a stranga girl to tho
neighborhood?"
"I've heard say It was Undo Boo'h
niece, and that sho como from tho
city. What alls you. stranger? Does
this storm upset you?"
It wasn't tho storm. Percy Kincaid
had quarreled with tho girl he loved
and had asked to bo his wife. It was
about nothing, almost, as most lovers'
quarrels are, but pride on either side
held off a reconciliation until tho
lover Anally learned that Miss Minnie
had gone on a Journey and left no
word for him. Sho was going to spend
Thanksgiving week In tho country.
Within two days she had relented;
within three he was making every ef
fort to locate her, that he might patch
up a peace. He hnd succeeded. He
was going to throw himself on her
mercy and nsk Undo Robert for a
place at his Thnnksgiving table.
The storm grew fiercer as the night
advanced Tho girl woko nnd then
slept a dreamless sleep, nnd tho lover
had long hours In which to ponder
and think. When another day camo
even the cattlo could not faco tho
storm nor man move from his door.
It was Thanksgiving day. At Uncle
Robert's thero was a feast to be
spread: at Bradley's there was hardly
better than poorhouse faro: But the
victim of tho accident was no longer
In bed, nnd tho rescuer no longer
cared about the woathor, and the
farmer folks looked at each other and
smiled and whispered:
"Even If wo had a turkey and cran
berry sauco I don't believe they'd eat
a slnglo mouthful. They've Just sorter
found each other, and are tickled to
death."
And when at last they could make
their way to Turner's, nnd Uncle Bob
stuttered nnd Aunt Harriot cried for
Joy. Miss Minnie asked in a way that
was almost heartless:

idea that coffeo and tea, for example,
ever hurt anyone. Upon looking into
tho matter seriously, ottrn at tho sug
gestion of a friend, such' persona
havo found that Postum and a frlonS'a

"Her landlady persuaded her to qu
coffeo and use Postum nnd in a fo
